You can use them everywhere the plugin runs, even on the server. They are independent of the open file and persists until the current application quits. And I know a few of you are keen on writing long scripts with using various plugin provided functions:įor years we provide global variables. See also an older blog post: Shared FileMaker Server Hosting and Plugin Securityĭata structures in FileMaker with MBS Plugins MBS Plugin offers a couple of data structures which make scripting in FileMaker more like a programming language. For example you can limit Files.Delete to a script which needs deleting files, but disallow it for all other scripts. With Plugin.LimitFunction you can limit a function to be only called by a certain function. So you can pass a list of function names and the plugin disables all other functions and you can’t call them anymore. So maybe instead of 4900 functions, you may only need 20 of them. Third, for the MBS Plugin, you can use Plugin.SetFunctions function to limit the list of functions to the ones you need. Not to mention creating new scripts which they can trigger anything anywhere. Second point means if an user has the chance to modify a script, they could write anything there, including calls to sabotage, steal or delete data. But you pass values as parameters and not put them in the SQL directly, right? Same for text used in SQL statements, where user can enter SQL commands in text fields and they are executed. Or other cases you may need to remove brackets to remove function calls. But what if they enter a plugin call instead? Well, using GetAsNumber first may help to convert input to a number first and strip function calls. your user enters a number and you multiply it. You make sure you limit the plugin features to those you need.įor the first point, well you can let the user enter a calculation and use Evaluate to get the result.You do not allow databases on servers with user accounts who can edit scripts or layouts.You do not simply pass user entered text to evaluate or SQL function in FileMaker.All functions you may use yourself to do backups to remote locations in your scripts.įor all your solutions you must make sure that: They all may offer functions to delete files, to upload files via FTP or to encrypt files.
